Popular Lagos-based female talking drummer Ara who is set to start a new TV series tagged Agbeke’s corner any moment from now has met a new man.

The mother of one in a new interview briefly narrated how her father died and how she met her new man.

Interview excerpt below:

Interviewer:A lot of guys could reach out to you after reading this…Ara: I am not available (laughter); I don’t want to talk about my relationship. I don’t want to talk about him. He is a very special man. I have never found a man like him.

Interviewer: Are you still talking to your ex, are you still friends?Ara: My ex actually wants me back. He has been begging and calling saying all kind of things and I have told him it can’t work.

Interviewer: How did you meet this new guy?Ara: It took a lot of courage. I did not date anyone for over a year. Meeting my love was divine. I met at Shoprite after many years. He is someone from my past, my late cousin’s friend who was very close to me back then. I knew he had a crush on me but for some reasons I avoided him. That was 23 years ago when I was daddy’s girl and my late cousin was a terror so I assumed all his friends were like him and I avoided him. He came to me when my career kicked off but then I was so much into Ara. And then we met again and he’s been the most wonderful man I have ever met. I am glad to have him.

On the pain of losing her father, Ara said:

The most painful was losing my dad. I lost my dad last year. What hurt me most was he was sick for almost five years. I was very close to my father and I watched him go slowly and painfully. He had diabetes and stroke. He was a strong man who was always in charge but slowly he became a shadow of himself. It was a traumatic experience for me. Watching him not been able to get up was heartbreaking. I learnt some things from the experience. At a point he couldn’t communicate any more. He couldn’t talk and write and there were things he wanted to say. You could see it in his eyes. He would hold my hands and tears would drop from his eyes. I was with him a day before he died.

Ara, you claimed your son’s father did not tell you he had been legally engaged and as such the reason why you opted out of the relation. The new boyfriend you met at Shoprite had been an old accomplice and a friend of your dead cousin of about 23 years. You are now truly in love with the right man you said, but wait a moment; have you asked all the relevant questions to assure yourself you are not in another decietful relations.?? Quetsion is, how old were you when he made his amorous approach to you as a young lady which you ignored based on his “everything goes” lifestyle then. How old would he have become 23 long years after that earlier encounter with him.? How after 23 long long years is he still readily available without any attachments,? have you been told all the stories you need to know to assure you are not threading on another landmines. If he is so much a “Super Lover” now at his 40 or 50 something years old, you probably need some probing further before you get into another mess. Whatever the case may be, try play within the limit of a woman whom you are naturally, and not Ara the passionate masculine drummer.
